Daily Chit-Chat -- Winter and/or Summer Edition

[Kura]

Seriously that was one awesome movie.

Someone from DW came to your school? Damn, I never get to meet anyone like that in my life. What'd he/she tell you?

A lot of stuff @_@ She gave like a 2-hour lecture.. Showed a lot of stuff and told a lot of stories. She was really really nice.

We get people like that all the time because our school is renowned for their animation program. We had Steve Williams a month back.. he basically came up with the idea of using CG instead of stop-motion for Jurassic Park and basically pioneered the thing ._. If it wasn't for him we probably wouldn't be using as much CG in liveaction film today. It's crazy how much Jurassic Park is actually a revolution..
:3 Cool thing is that he's Canadian (working at Lucas in the states) but apparently there were only 5 animators on that entire movie and they were also all Canadian.. haha.. he was a cool guy.

And yeah.. we had Disney come.. and we had Chris Landreth come and Iain Gardner came, too. @_@ It's really nice to be able to have guest Lecture-ers :33 Like.. just opens up your mind and makes you feel good to have the opportunity to hear from them.

Oh and Mike Kitchen came to give a talk before we went on out Christmas Break.. he worked on a bunch of movies as an animator.. like Hellboy and 9 and stuff :3 Also he worked on Halo ODST :3

Random question, but does anybody here do online clothes shopping?

 

[インフェルノの津波]

My mom does, but I would never do that kind of stuff. I almost never trust the internet with shopping. I mean, the Craigslist incident...

 

[Kura]

I don't.. but I heard the return policy is really easy on some sites if you try it and it doesn't fit properly.
:/ But I dunno.. I'm really picky about how stuff fits on me so I never do it.

Clothes specifically, no. If I do that, I miss the chance to try them on and see if I'm okay, right?

 

[Signomi]

I...personally wouldn't purchase clothes online.

For one thing, you can't physically wear them before you buy them to see if you'd like them outside of the image on the website. >_>

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Well Siggy IRL isn't very true either. I remember this news story about how some stores tampered with their mirrors to make it look like the clothes you had on were too small/big.

While that is important, I don't actually try on clothes, so that's not a good factor for me.

I'm asking because I need a good website for mens clothes.

topmanDOTCOM is a pretty good and reliable site, if that's what you're asking.

@インフェルノの津波: that's a very rare occasion.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Not exactly. Of course people would notice if a size was too big, but too small, especially for people of this day and age is highly unlikely.

This is why I hate the media in every way imaginable.

 

[Alternative]

I don't usually go clothes shopping, but I would never really consider going online to buy some clothes. Buying clothes from online stores means you have no idea what the piece of clothing is until you receive it, and there always the chance that it will be the bad kind of hand-me-downs.

 

[moments.]

Agree with Alternative. Unless it was like an accessory like a hat or something bit less attached I'd consider, but I've never really looked into it or considered doing so.

 

[Meganium]

Random question, but does anybody here do online clothes shopping?

YES!!! I do that 60% of the time. It saves me the hassle of having to go to the stores a lot. I know there's some disadvantages though like paying for shipping and having to return your item AND pay for shipping. I know some stores let you return your online-purchased item your nearest store, which is the most awesomest thing ever.

While that is important, I don't actually try on clothes, so that's not a good factor for me.

Have your tried Casual Male XL? Meganium recommends it. ;)

 

[Captain Fabio]

I will do some clothes shopping later on. Just looking for random bargains :3

 

[Captain Fabio]

I buy most things online, because it is easier. Except for clothes, because I like to try them on and see what they are like first :3

 

[Bloo]

I barely ever do any shopping online because I don't have a credit card. If I did, i would be all over the internet, simply because things are just cheaper.

 

[Captain Fabio]

A lot of things are cheaper online.
I only use my debit card really. I do have a credit card, but that is only for an emergency.

Yes, I would only use a credit card for emergencies also. Buy something for $50 and you have to pay $70 when it's time to pay D:

 

[Captain Fabio]

It is annoying that the online world is so much cheaper than the real world. I am looking to get a new phone and the one I want, has about a £100 difference online than real life. Haha.

I just have to wait a few days for it to arrive, oh no!

Yes, there are some websites that sell things for a third of the price, but take incredibly long, because they use free Air Mail, and are from Hong Kong *ahem DealExtreme ahem*
